Neocities and the Yesterweb - The Second Coming of Tumblr. Led by a massive group of extremist hypocrites that go by neopronouns and full of webrings devoted to "transing the internet".

  • Happy Easter!
Sucks that Districts of Neocities went down, that was one I liked clicking through. I guess the webmaster just got tired of keeping it up.

I am and always will be deeply confused as to why kids seem to be so into gender shit. Everything it's based off of is just so stuffy and dull. So's the fashion, for that matter, mental illness haircuts and plaid as far as the eye can see.

Come to think of it, why are kids into Neocities? Where are they coming from? And why are all their sites so fucking lame? CSS has an animation function. If these pipsqueaks were really into this whole eyeburner pastel bullshit, then why the fuck don't they go all in? Make that shit spin, assholes, come on, do it.

At their core, personal sites like this are a kind of digital scrapbooking, and webrings are knitting circles. Seeing people run around, talking about how cool they are because they joined the local arts and crafts club, on pills, with some bullshit knots made out of perfectly good yarn, at the age of six-fucking-teen is as cringe as it is depressing. I know self importance and trying too hard is part and parcel of being a teen, but it would all be so much better if they would just let themselves have fun.

I was going to write a long explanation but it's already been done to death and is pretty easily-accessible in any thread where someone questions it.

The long and short of it is:
  • Gender shit is trendy now, and teenagers (+ any kid who excessively uses social media) really want to follow trends.
  • Gender shit has stuck around for so long not only because it's being very loudly encouraged by most adults (especially the "top dogs" that kids are taught to always listen to and respect: doctors, scientists, heads of state), but because it also gives teenagers and children purchase when entering any kind of debate because "minorities need to be listened to above all else". They get automatic protection from almost any kind of criticism because of their protected status and are praised by default solely for doing nothing more than stating that they belong to a certain group.
  • This automatic protection is, of course, most popular amongst the extremely insecure or self-loathing, leading to the excess teenage population and the remaining adult population being made up of mentally ill freaks. It's also especially popular amongst the previously-abused and their abusers for obvious reasons.
  • Said freaks don't care about who you are as long as you aren't straight and white- they solely care about sex- leading to many mentally ill people who wouldn't be accepted anywhere else coming out to find a community. (Not sure if this is brought up much, but I'm including it because i've experienced it by proxy and it is unfortunately an extremely good way to find someplace to belong without putting in much effort to develop communication skills beyond the most basic.)
  • Stuffiness/dullness isn't a problem if you were raised with the stuff, which I think plays into why a fair amount of ex-fundamentalists tend towards this shit (aside from the usual rebellion against the parents). It's more comfortable to avoid constantly stepping on LEGOs if you were raised to avoid stepping on eggshells your entire life. It's also worth noting that none of these people think they're being stuffy and dull at all- every single one of them thinks they're being a unique individual by proclaiming their love for "weird" shit like opossums and axolotls, despite those being quite possibly some of the most mainstream "weird" animals you could ever think of. They seriously think they're "silly lil guys that nobody understands" despite exclusively hanging out with 30+ clones of themselves on a regular basis. Literal hivemind shit.

(fun fact: every single one of these people have "video games, drawing, listening to music, and coding" listed as their main hobbies)
  • Same goes for the comment about fashion. They think they're being unique by indulging in subcultures that can only come about via everyone having a relatively unified look.
Come to think of it, why are kids into Neocities? Where are they coming from?
Twitter and tumblr mostly. A few people on those sites who were already using Neocities started propping it up as a "social media alternative" when the Troubles began, and since online children have no free will they all followed whatever big slacktivist or fanfic writer was moving from social media to Neocities (for exactly 2 days) without question. They don't give a shit about Neocities- just the fact that they're "doing the right thing" by not being on social media. The only exceptions to this rule were the code kiddies who were already interested in web development and took the opportunity to properly learn it (which is a good thing for them but not so much normal people who want to use the platform).

And why are all their sites so fucking lame? CSS has an animation function. If these pipsqueaks were really into this whole eyeburner pastel bullshit, then why the fuck don't they go all in? Make that shit spin, assholes, come on, do it.
That exodus is also the reason for this. Nobody actually cares about the websites- just the fact that they're not on twitter/tumblr anymore. Hence the abundance of carrd copy-pastes, neverending template websites (almost always derived specifically from sadgrl.com), and rampant unoriginality across the board. Every single person just copies from every other person endlessly and nothing original is ever shat out (especially not without being plagiarized by the nearest 20-something complaining about code theft while participating in it constantly within several minutes of its creation).

I found a website with a fake-but-functional Windows 7 UI page at one point after sorting through 100+ Carrds and thought it was super cool and original in comparison.
Then I saw that exact same page with different text in the boxes on another person's page soon after.
Then another.
And another.
With the exact same execution almost every single time.
They didn't even change the fucking background.

Same went for a pixelated cat that sat in the top left of your screen and followed your mouse if you clicked it. Same went for extremely cluttered homepages made to look like messy corkboards or piles of notes. Same went for little jukeboxes made to control autoplay on any given webpage, or the bobbing white dragon beanie baby gifs. Same went for so so so much shit that at this point you'll find on 95% of active websites.

This also goes for the vast majority of content on these sites. Every site has an About Me, a Diary, at least one (but usually multiple) Shrine(s), multiple Webrings, a Links page with a bunch of Blinkies and Buttons...
Every quiz result is the same. There's a bunch of maybe 20-30 quizzes relating to the most popular fandoms and then the animal webpage guardian quiz from one of the site's most popular members.
There's also the same few recurring topics: Likes/Dislikes/Sexuality in a Character Form format, Bucket Lists (this trend is newer so not as widespread yet but it's on a lot of the transring webpages lol), "Kins" and ships, extreme leftist rhetoric... it's all so tiresome.

Has there been a single niche website - or interest - that trannies haven't completely ruined or tried to ruin?
Yes but they either: A. haven't found it yet, or B. don't get special privileges because the community there is either old as balls or more autistic than them (Foamers) so they haven't bothered

This, in particular, makes me sad. It's practically carte blanche to never get over your insecurities, self reflect, or grow up. I would be so much more tolerant of all this same-y "qweer and qwircky" bullshit if the kids at least got to enjoy themselves out of it, but it's pretty clear they don't. They're too busy being self-righteous instead. Society has really failed an entire generation, here.
Twitter and tumblr mostly
I should have known. Honestly, I legit forget there are still kids and teens hanging around on Tumblr, what with the 30-something lady freaks so firmly in control of the culture. Twitter, meanwhile, just shouldn't have kids on it. I keep brainwashing myself into believing there aren't all that many there.

Anyway, thread tax, pulled from a quick browsing of the latest updates section:

Thinking of Transing the youth, here's a highschooler who's managed to develop an autogynophilia fetish severe enough to have already eaten most of his (suspiciously autistic) hobbies:

Link to his about me (Ghostarchive) and his heinously stupid landing page (Ghostarchive)

hello i am pink-ish pickle, im in highschool, and im a transgender girl (i am a stereotypical transfem right down to the blahaj, spinny skirts, and web development). howds is my fren (irl O:), so is sam. my pronouns are she/her or she/they. I play guitar (not well), and sing (badly), i do some coding stuff (obviously). i used to solve rubiks cubes and make movies but now i've mostly stopped doing both of those things (although i may resume moving image arts next year). i am part of my schools d&d club and im a bit of a nerd. i live near portland, oregon (good place other than the gun violence and quite large population of houseless people). i don't know what else to put here, use the guestbook to ask me questions about myself if you're curious to know more about me for some reason (you weirdo).

He fucking calls it a spinny skirt!

This is the first sentence. BOOOOOM!!! It's done… I'm already at the fourth sentence. You know what? I'm more professional than other LTE’ers! is that how you say it. I don't know. Anyway.. I'm more professional.. So I'm creating a word quota.. I don't know what it is but trust me (actually dont) it exists. My computer is at 2% and is telling me I have 11 minutes left… so i'm going to use that to write here. I use the .. or the … thing too much so that I can't get criticized for improper punctuation… even if I didn't use it I would not be criticized because nobody is actually taking the time out of their day to read this… I’m currently sitting in an art room writing… What I am currently doing is breaking the laws of physics… It's great!! Oh no the physics police are after me now. Gotta run!! Just kidding there is no such thing as the physics police. Now that I have written all of this.. I felt like in the first few sentences it was going so fast... but now that i'm getting less random its taking more time to write… the patron saint of paperclips is the best human alive!! I sent an email telling her so. hers might not be the longest but is by far the most interesting. Since one of my friends discovered the website: he got me and a few others into reading it, and now i'm entering the world of LTE-ing with this!!! I suck at grammar so give me a break… please! I'm begging you!!?! I love using a question mark and exclamation point like this: chicken!!!?! Because it achieves an initially confident effect, but then it devolves into someone kinda questioning their own sanity a bit… It's so great!!!! My computer is now telling me that it's still at 2% but it only has 8 minutes left… this is the beginning of the end!!!!?! Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees! My computer is auto correcting that long yes to Yeh Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Which I think is really weird… I don't know why that is happening. It's very strange… I don't know why life is happening. It's very strange… bye! I'm back now. Just kidding! I don't exist! I'm listening to music to pick a track for a theatre piece we are doing in class… YES, I'm a theatre kid! dont judge me. We got to make submissions for songs we could listen to for the piece and I submitted megalovania. Someone the mii creator music, and the five minute crafts intro. It was great! Time to be more random. Lolcat is the best minecraft language setting. I play a lot of minecraft… like a lot of minecraft... too much minecraft... “do not pass your judgement unto me!” (in posh british accent)... that's how you say don't judge me all fancy and stuff. Cheese is the best thing since cheese! (and sliced bread, and me, and you, and life itself, and cheese, and gold, and trench coats, and demons, and yes!) Why is cheese! What is cheese! How is cheese! The real question is WHEN is cheese!! Cheese is not a wild thing!! So stop putting it in zoos, and in people's computers! stupid monkeys!! Monkeys like monkey cheese!! Cheese made out of monkeys! monkeys made out of cheese! Woooooo!! Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese!!! Long cheese! Short cheese!! Long paragraph!!! Short paragraph!! Cheese is watching!! Spaghetti! I don't really like spaghetti. I don't know why though, I don't hate it. I just don't like it for some reason. maybe it's the texture, maybe the taste, maybe something else, DONT hate on me for not really liking spaghetti!! Please!! I beg you!!!?! I'm not actually begging you though!! Bye!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm back now 7 minutes left on my battery somehow. I'm pretty sure my computer is lying to me… I've used this computer for like an hour… I'm gonna start numbering the days that I'm writing this… because that's cool!! The exclamation point at the end of this sentence marks around 4000 characters! Now you know! Not that you want to know.. or really know at all unless you check... maybe I'm lying! dun dun dun!! actually i'm not lying! dun dun dun!! that's why I said maybe I am lying instead of being certain that I am lying because I am in fact not lying! But that probably doesn't make sense anyway!! Over 4100 characters… but you won't know unless you check... so maybe i'm lying dun dun dun or maybe not dun dun dun so that's why I said maybe and all that and stuff... and i'm gonna stop being a broken record! But it's fun… but its not… but it's fun… but its not… but it's fun… but it's not… but it's fun… but it's not… but its fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is holding down the button to make lots of that character breaking the rules of LTE-ing? Hopefully not… I mean it's not copy and paste… what are the rules anyway? Are there rules? I'm gonna stop talking/typing and leave now!!

No idea what an LTE/Longest text ever is supposed to be, but judging by what he has on his page, I'm going to go ahead and guess it's retarded.

Glancing down at the latest entry, he apparently thinks the way his father makes him do homework is cruel or something. Poor man probably just wants his fetish infested autist of a son to learn how to use a goddamn full stop.

And here's yet another Sadgrl template user. Claims to be a 24 year old "Bigender boygirl" (Ghostarchive). My favorite part is her beliefs+BYF, where you have some good old fashioned Tumblr cringe. Link (Ghostarchive)

BLM, pro-landback, radically inclusive, fat liberationist, pro-endogenic systems, cripplepunk isn't for able-bodied people, anti-trace and transabled, transandrophobia exists and is a problem, other peoples ships and kinks aren't my business, just don't let me see any agegap or underage smut please, make it clear on your profile that it contains such content, or don't follow me so i don't accidentally follow you, don't involve me in shipping discourse, paraphiles can't control their attraction and should have access to help if needed, but i am uncomfortable interacting with pedophiles, zoophiles, and necrophiles so make it clear on your profile or don't follow me so i don't accidentally follow you, don't involve me in paraphilia discourse

Her identities page is a just a bunch of foxes/dogs (Link Ghostarchive). For someone who claims to against zoophilia, she seems awfully into "kinning" the full-animal type of furry.
 
I'm gonna follow up on this with an in-depth analysis of every member to actually make sure it's mostly minors soon, but for now I simply bring you this news.
i've gotten maybe half of the way through in a week
I give up
the brainrot is too strong

the long and short of it is that there were less minors than I expected, but the minors were always the more fucked-up members by a mile. Most were extremely paranoid about "transphobes being out to get them" in one way or another, a few were seemingly innocent and mostly into this xenogender shit because that's what they were surrounded with, almost all of them mentioned some form of grooming or rape or other SA. Whether they can be trusted to qualify what constitutes as SA is another story entirely, but whether they're lying about it or not it was a very common theme throughout all of their sites

if someone wants to pick up where I left off for whatever reason, I went to every site listed on the members list in order up until squeezeoats.neocities.org and found 23 confirmed minors (out of 38 sites; 45 total, 7 were dead links or didn't give any info on the webmaster)
almost all of them were some kind of genderspecial other than a straightforward ftm/mtf (mostly the former if not), and they used xenopronouns more often than the 18+ demographic

The Districts of Neocities page seems to have been destroyed?
It's the same webpage as before (it has the same stats, tags, and author), but "of" was changed to "off" and the site solely consists of a black screen and a gif of a rotating rat now (that I can't copy-paste because it keeps turning into an image so here's an archive instead).

According to the user profile, the site "died" 2 weeks ago and was already inactive for something like a year and a half prior.

A spiritual successor has arisen by the name of NeoCities Neighborhood, hilariously advertising that Linux is preferred for viewing at the top (with Preferred being misspelled). Worth noting that it already existed for a few years before now- it's just taken the place of the Districts since its death, from what I can tell, and is still being updated as I write this (most recent addition was 3 weeks ago).
-
In slightly related news, the members page for the Transing the Internet webring has been fixed, and JESUS CHRIST IT'S HUGE. There are currently 90 members of the webring, most of which seem to be minors. I'm gonna follow up on this with an in-depth analysis of every member to actually make sure it's mostly minors soon, but for now I simply bring you this news.

EDIT: it's been 7 hours and I'm maybe a third of the way through that breakdown
so far about half of the members are minors, and of those minors most are under 15
they're always the worst examples, too
i've stumbled upon so much unnerving shit
sigh

EDIT 2: i think i'm done for today

At first I thought it was just some dumb kids' harlmess personal sites, then I saw this little tidbit.
2fa09c89c2545138dc8ebffb35519521.png

I've had the displeasure of seeing some communities ran by minors in my time, and it does NOT usually end well, especially with how a lot of sites link their other accounts like Twitter or Discord, and how the minors are just coexisting with the adults in this "webring" or whatever it is.
And why are all their sites so fucking lame?
They wanna be part of the cool kids and join the new, "niche" website that isn't a shithole like Twitter, but all they actually know by now is Twitter, and they either don't know anything about code, or are just too creatively sterile to make anything more than a colorful little blog.

I stumbled down the Wayback Machine rabbit hole today of personal sites that I remembered being around when I was a teenager. I’m talking, like, 2000-2004 here, made by other teenagers and college students, cliques/webrings, art, little pixel images you could “adopt”, etc. The kind of stuff that the Neocities crowd would probably claim they were taking inspiration from. There’s a few things that stuck out to me in retrospect:

First, it was actually kind of rare for them to have full-fledged profile anywhere on them. Most of them were pretty limited to things like a name, a few various favorite things, maybe an email address for contact. I don’t think I saw one that even mentioned the webmaster’s sex, outside of maybe elsewhere in passing or mention of their real life first name. Most of the “about” pages honestly talked more about the website/domain itself.

Second, unlike a lot of these modern Neocities sites, it was really uncommon to see a bunch of different content all mashed onto the same website. It was much more typical to see one person run several websites, each with their own layout and purpose. (A clique/ring, a site specifically for one of their hobbies, a site for their artwork, etc.) That's actually one of the reasons having your own domain name was kind of a status symbol. In a weird way, it's kind of a metaphor for what's happened to internet content as a whole over the years. (Just toss it all into one big pile and let The Algorithm™ sort it out... or not.)

Just some observations. The second one in particular is why I think so many of them feel "off" to me.

Neocities is a shell of what it could be because the sole purpose anyone makes a site is because they "like the old web aesthetic." If these people had hobbies (writing, music, art) they actually wanted to share, they'd go do it on a platform where people would actually see it. Unfortunately, corporate interests have strangled the internet, and even having a centralized service host your static site for you is too DIY in the bleak world of today. It's just not how people share their work anymore.
every single one of them thinks they're being a unique individual by proclaiming their love for "weird" shit like opossums and axolotls, despite those being quite possibly some of the most mainstream "weird" animals you could ever think of. They seriously think they're "silly lil guys that nobody understands" despite exclusively hanging out with 30+ clones of themselves on a regular basis. Literal hivemind shit.
So it's basically entirely just a bunch of these people, making these "cute little sites," sending the links to each other on discord, and then never touching them again.
On an unrelated note I made these a while ago and never posted them. If anybody happens to have a neocities and wants to rep the farms in the form of those little buttons, here you go. Monero and Tor too because why not.

Most of these retards don't have enough material for one site let alone several. I strongly suspect if they were around back then without easy, constant internet access they wouldn't even be into webmastering or anything computer related.

The sole guy who runs Neocities could be doing a lot more to improve the state of things, he talks the talk about old web but he's so hands-off people think he's abandoned it and he lets his service be the host to a sea of 99% clown world garbage.

To him, this IS the old web. The official neocities twitter is full of whiny shitlib stuff and boasting about he can delete threads he doesn't like better than twitter.

The moment someone like old maddox shows up they'd be banned instantly.

Holy shit, I had no idea that people outside of the Neocities scene were even aware of the loonytroons over at Yesterweb, but I guess if anyone would be, it'd be you guys. Neocities itself isn't all bad, and even Yesterweb itself had some cool people in the early days before it turned into some weird Marxist tranny cult, but there are an unreal amount of deranged people in this space who honestly warrant individual threads of their own on here. The fact that an internet nostalgia group devolved into a zoomer filled tranny drama cult full of pedophiles and general freaks is outright bizarre as most of these people weren't even alive when Geocities and Angelfire were at their peak, so I have no clue what got them into the idea of the "old web" in the first place. It's like the whole thing is a weird caricature of what 16 year olds think the Internet was like in 2003.

You know I had a good introduction to these weirdos as my first experience with Yesterweb was when a friend of mine who owns a rather popular Neocities site got harassed by some of the people involved in it a few years ago. From what I remember him telling me at the time, he got an email from someone asking him to "show support" by placing a trans visibility banner on his website or something, and when he politely refused as "(his) site has nothing to do with politics" they quickly shifted tone and he got his inbox relentlessly spammed by a shit load of people trying to strongarm him into caving into their autistic shitflinging and started threatening him and his wife. I don't remember how long this went on for, but I know it ended in him joining their Discord to find out exactly who in their group was organising it and promptly telling them to fuck off via their personal emails, lol. I know he came out of it completely unbothered, though. At the time he seemed to find the whole thing pretty amusing, but started to get sick of it when his inbox essentially became unusable due to the spam he received from them. Madness.

In typical troon fashion, they also apparently have a really bad habit of targeting actual women who run websites as well, and there's now an entire webring of TERF women that formed as a direct result of them receiving harassment from Yesterweb trannies over something to do with pronouns/gender identity politics (I think?) Maybe someone who's more clued up on that whole shitshow could fill in a little bit in this regard, as I might be missing a few details about this specific incident, but I know it was something along those lines.

Why anyone would think that they're entitled to control what someone else has to say or share on their own website is utterly bewildering to me.

Yeah, it's a bunch of Tumblr teens spamming 88x31 buttons while sperging about pronouns. The odd thing is, there are many modern CSS3 sites that hearken back to the fabled "internet of old," using modern technology to express a legitimate purpose. The problem is, anyone who's not a poser can just rent a cloud VPS and enjoy total control over the instance, so sites like Neocities will inevitably cater to the bottom of the barrel.

It's not 1999 anymore when GeoCities was the option. Now you can simply buy a VPS that blows Neocities out of the water. They're talking $5/mo for 3 TB bandwidth and 50 GB disk space, when I can easily pay less for 20 TB bandwidth, 40 GB space, 2 CPUs, 4 GB RAM, dedicated IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, and have root access to my own instance. The entire business model caters to retards.

In the current year, you can even point a CNAME record to a GitHub Pages repo and enjoy essentially unlimited bandwidth and storage for free. There are so many options available that using Neocities is inherently an extremely intentional choice made by a very specific type of person.

I don't think I've ever been simultaneously enraptured and confused out of my mind by a single sentence like I have after reading this one. Elaborate, please.
It's stupid but they seem to think keeping the neocities name shows off how counterculture they are and on the technical side they don't know about all these better hosting options. It's like one big neo webring.
 
Back
